SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

- Before using your new pump, check it, including cord and plug, for any visible damage. Do not use a damaged pump, but send it back to your dealer for replacement.

- For safety reasons, your submersible pump must always be connected to an earthed socket that has been installed according to national regulations, forms part of an electricity network that is equipped with a fuse of at most 16 Amp and has an earth leakage circuit breaker (nominal voltage ≤30 mA).

- Check your pump, electrical cable, plug and socket before each use. Do not use if the device is damaged and have this damage repaired by an accredited electrician. The cable is an H05RN-F 3G 1.00mm ^2 type.

- Ensure that electrical connections stay dry at all times.

- Before use, ensure that the socket to which you are connecting the pump is suitable for the pump itself (see type plate).

- Protect the electrical cable and plug from heat, oil and sharp corners.

- Clean the drainage pipe before use.

- Before use, check to ensure that elevation height does not exceed your pump's capacity.

- Do not use the electrical cable to hang up, lower or move the pump. Attach a rope to the handle in order to do this. Never pull on the cable to remove the plug from the socket but remove by pulling on the plug!

- Rinse the pump with clean water if you have used it to pump water that contains chlorine, for example, or deposits. Bear in mind that sand and all other abrasive and corrosive substances will increase wear and tear and impact upon the effectiveness of the pump.

- Ensure the pump is not used if it cannot drain off the water due to issues such as blocked drainage, elevation too high, etc. This will damage the pump!

- Do not use the pump if there are persons present in the object to be pumped out. It is forbidden to use this pump in a swimming pool.

- Allowing the pump to run dry will increase wear and tear and cause overheating. Always prevent the pump from running if no water is being moved and switch it off immediately if this is the case.

• Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch it off by removing the plug from the socket.
• In order to prevent injury, never put your fingers or other objects into the suction opening on the pump when the device is plugged in!
• Close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children, incapacitated persons or pets. The device is not suitable for use by persons (including children) with a physical, sensual or mental limitation or a lack of experience and knowledge, irrespective of whether they are being supervised or have been issued with instructions in relation to the use of the device by a person who is responsible for their safety.
• Keep out of reach of children and never leave them unsupervised with the appliance. Consequently, when selecting the location for your machine, do so in such way that children do not have access to the appliance. Always ensure that children cannot play with the device.
• Never repair the pump, cable and/or plug yourself; always have this maintenance carried out by an authorised expert. The importer and manufacturer accept no liability for repairs and/or modifications to the pump if they have been carried out by someone who is not qualified to do so. Such interventions also nullify the guarantee.

WHERE CAN THE PUMP BE USED?

This submersible pump has been designed for private usage in or around the home and garden.

Submersible pumps are primarily used for draining water, moving liquids and emptying water reservoirs, cellars, boats etc., and also for temporary circulation of water.

The pumps are completely watertight and can be submerged in liquid with a maximum depth of 5 metres.

These pumps are not suitable for table fountains or aquariums. If the pump is used in a pond containing fish, you must take measures to prevent the fish being sucked into the pump.

This pump can be used to pump clean and lightly polluted, non-aggressive liquids. The liquid may contain particles of max. 3mm diameter.

Sand (and similar materials) in the liquid that is to be pumped will have a corrosive effect and will lead to increased wear and tear.

Corrosive, lightly flammable or explosive liquids (such as petrol, diesel, paraffin, thinners etc), seawater, fats, oil, salty or contaminated water from toilets, chemical products etc. cannot be pumped!

The temperature of the pumped liquids must not exceed 35^ C.

Always prevent the pump from running if no water is being moved.

Note: these pumps may not be used in a swimming pool!

This pump is not suitable for continuous use, such as the continual circulation of water. This type of use will substantially shorten the pump's life expectancy.

BEFORE USE

When preparing the device for use, take the plug out of the electrical socket!

Hose connection

The FlowPro 350 is supplied with two hose connections: 19mm and 25mm. You can optionally screw these onto the pump. A 1" screw connection may also be used if necessary. Attach the hose to the appropriate part of the connector with a hose clamp (or turn it on it).

Locating and moving

• Make sure the pump is positioned at a stable location, particularly if you want it to work automatically.
• Ensure that the suction openings are not blocked (not even partially). If the pump is positioned on a soft surface (e.g. a sand bed), place it on a tile or something similar.
• Do not use the electrical cable or the hose to lift the pump or hang it up. If you wish to locate the pump in a water source or shaft, use a rope that is attached to the handle to do so.
• If you are using the pump temporarily, you may use a flexible hose that is connected to the pump using a hose clamp. You can attach fixed discharge pipes if you have a permanent installation.
• Take note! If you use the pump in a pit or shaft, this must have minimum dimensions of 40x40x50 cm, to enable the float to move freely.

OPERATION

• The electrical cable must be at least a HO5RN-F 3x0.75mm ^2 , with a length of at least 10 metres.
• Any extension cable must be of the type HO5RN-F 3x1.0mm ^2 .
• Before use, check that the values of the socket to which you wish to connect the pump correspond to those on the type plate on the pump itself (230V-50Hz) and that the socket is earthed and has an earth leakage circuit breaker (nominal voltage ≤30 mA).
• Ensure that electrical connections stay dry at all times.
• Check that the pump stands firmly on the bottom of the pit, cellar, etc.
• Check if the socket is in good condition.
• Check if the discharge pipe is properly secured and shows no signs of buckling.
• Make sure that no people present in the space to be pumped out (cellar/boat/pond etc).
• If the above conditions have been met, then you may insert the plug in the socket. The pump will start operating.

Automated function

Once you have plugged the device into the socket, the pump will switch on automatically when the water exceeds the set minimum level and switch off when the set minimum level has been obtained.

This means that the pump can be left on at all times and will keep the water in a cellar or boat, for example, at the required level. Bear in mind that this pump is not designed to be used continuously; it must be switched off at regular intervals.

Despite the fact that the pump works automatically, regular supervision is required in order to ascertain that it has not encountered any functional problems and that it has not been damaged (see also: overheating safeguard).

Manual function

If used manually, your pump will start to work when you insert the plug into the socket and you ensure that the float switch is set to 'on'. You do this by holding the float switch upright (float cable underneath). The pump will continue to work if you hold the float in this way (or fix it like this). Stop the pump from functioning as soon as liquid is no longer being pumped; the pumped liquid also cools the motor and without this cooling effect it may overheat and break down! Always supervise a pump that is working manually; drying out will lead to increased wear and tear!

You are advised to use the pump manually for short periods only. You should keep your eye on the pump at all times during manual functioning.

During automatic operation, the pump will turn itself off when there is still some water in your cellar/boat/pond because the automatic float switch needs space in which to switch. If you wish to pump out the remaining water, we advise you to use the pump manually in order to do so. Placing the pump at the lowest point (or in a hollow) will allow you to remove almost all of the remaining water. Make sure it does not dry out!

At all times prevent the pump from running dry!

OVERHEATING SAFEGUARD

Your submersible pump is equipped with an overheating safeguard. This switches the pump off automatically if the motor gets too hot. Once it has cooled down sufficiently, the pump will automatically switch on again.

There is always a cause for overheating: the fan may have become jammed, a bearing may be worn, the pump can run dry etc. and if the cause is not removed, the device will overheat once again. If this process is repeated too often it may cause serious damage to your pump. Try to establish what is wrong and resolve the problem. If the pump needs to be opened up you must take it to your supplier or an accredited professional.

If there is insufficient supervision of a pump that is functioning automatically, the pump may break down despite the presence of the overheating safeguard. The user is always responsible for supervising the device!

MAINTENANCE

Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch it off by taking the plug from the socket.

Your submersible pump is more or less maintenance-free. The only tasks you must carry out are as follows:

• Carry out a regular visual inspection. Make sure the pump is not damaged. Check the electrical cable, the plug, the float switch and the float cable for damage too. If you discover damage, you must take the device to your supplier or an accredited professional. Never attempt to carry out repairs yourself and never open the pump!
• Regularly check that the float switch is working effectively, particularly if you have set the pump to work automatically (every 3 months). Regularly remove residues from the float with clean water.
• Regularly check whether any dirt (fibres, residues) has accumulated around the blade. Remove it if this is the case by cleaning the pump with clean water. You can remove the bottom filter and attempt to remove dirt from the blade with tweezers.
• If you cannot do so, take the pump to your supplier or to an accredited professional to open the device and remove the residue.
• Rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water at least every 3 months.
• If you regularly use the pump at different locations, you must rinse with clean water (inside and out) after each use.
• Keep the base of the well (or the tile on which the pump is positioned) free from mud and residue.
• Ensure that the pump does not freeze. Before winter sets in, run the pump dry and store it in a frost-free location.
